********************** Hello family and friends back home in Sault Ste. Marie. Our family in Barrie has made sending in a picture and greeting to SooToday.com a part of our holiday traditions.

Much like a visit from Nonna Cupello, seafood on Christmas Eve and a cousin sleepover and movie night.

Speaking of traditions some of the things my wife and I miss the most about growing up and Christmas in the Sault were the sleigh rides, tobogganing, midnight mass, and the drives around the city to check out all the incredible lights. We want to wish everyone both near and far a blessed holiday season filled with comfort and good memories.

Remember the best thing to spend on each other is time! Peace, joy, health and happiness always, Ben, Anita, Sophia and Alessia
